So much is running through my mind that I can't put together a cohesive post on a single topic so here comes a stream of thoughts:
-Mike Pelfrey looks good. Nice velocity on his pitches and he's throwing strikes. It seemed like every Phillie batter was driving the ball into the ground. That's when you know you're doing something right as a pitcher.
-David Wright might be coming out of this funk. Hitting a home run 420 feet tends to do that to you. Plus he went 3 for 3 with two walks, a homer, 2 runs scored and 2 RBI. That can also be interpreted as "productive."
-Jerry Manuel might be the most enjoyable manager to watch getting thrown out of games.
-Shane Victorino is an ankle biter. He's the John Stockton of modern baseball. Weasel of a player who's scrappy and knows how to be really, really annoying and get away with it.
-Is it just me or is it weird having a bullpen that holds?
-The Mets should (I repeat, should) go on a run here. Coming off some huge wins in Atlanta and against the Phillies, they now have the Pirates come into town before a trip out West. If there ever was a time to set this team in the right direction, it's now.
-All the recent success has come with basically no production from Jose Reyes. If he gets hot, this team will start rolling.
-Charlie Manuel is undoubtedly the all time worst looking manager in a uniform.
